As the holiday season quickly descends on North Texas, the Dallas Sidekicks enter a crucial part of their schedule. The reigning PASL Central Division champions enter December with a 3-1 overall record, including an impressive road win over the defending PASL champion San Diego Sockers. But what the Sidekicks can accomplish during the holidays will go a long way in determining how the final stretch of the season will go.

The Sidekicks will play six games during the holidays, including five in December and one on Jan. 2. By the time 2014 rolls around, the Sidekicks’ 2013-14 season will be more than half completed and the team will be looking to make a final push for crucial playoff positioning as they drive for a fifth indoor soccer championship.

Fans will have numerous opportunities to cheer on the Sidekicks during the holidays. Three of the six holiday games will be played at home, beginning with the Sidekicks’ contest against Central Division foe Saltillo Rancho Seco on Saturday, Dec. 14. That game will be a special occasion for the Sidekicks, as the organization will also hold its first-annual Sidekicks Alumni Game that night at halftime. The Alumni will feature Team Green, captained by Sidekicks great Doc Lawson, against Team Purple, captained by fellow Sidekicks great David Doyle. Also that night, Santa will be at the Sidekicks game taking photos with fans.

Dallas will also have home games on Friday, Dec. 27 and Thursday, Jan. 2. The game on Dec. 27 will feature $2 hot dogs, beer and sodas.

The Dallas Sidekicks are providing all subscribers of The Pitch a special holiday ticket offer. For the games on Dec. 14, Dec. 27, and Jan. 2, all Pitch readers can get 50-percent-off sideline ($30 reduced to $15) and endzone ($20 reduced to $10) seats.
